Kenny Serwa, the Tigers new knuckleballer, throws the fastest knuckleball ever recorded. Is this a gimmick or could he be a genuine game-changer? 88.5 mph knuckleball paired with a 94 mph fastball... how do you even begin to scout that? Will hitters be completely baffled or will they feast on the unpredictable movement? Is this the revival of a dying art or just a flash in the pan? I'm curious to see how this develops in the minors. What kind of adjustments do you think hitters will have to make? Could this be the future of pitching? Where does Serwa rank among knuckleballers all time... even potentially before he's thrown a pitch in the majors?
